What We Do

Our Mission

Often, many people make homeless people feel degraded, unwanted, and even invisible. Emma’s Winter Bundles mission is to do everything but that - we want to brighten the days of people living on the street or in shelters by handing out bags filled with goods to help keep people warm in the harsh winters and have a full stomach. We want to show them that they are people too and that others truly care about them. Additionally, we work with sports teams, community groups and other volunteers to allow them to get involved and raise awareness for the harsh conditions homeless people face and the lack of action taken at a municipal level to help find solutions.
